SugarCON is focused on SugarCRM software, upon which [email protected] was initially based. End-users and resellers attending SugarCON may preview the revolutionary capabilities of [email protected] 7.0 by booking a preview session on any day of the conference (see contact information below).

[email protected] 7.0, under development since November 2009, is the most significant [email protected] release since the initial release in January 2005. Expected to be available for general release in May 2011, version 7.0 is a major re-architecture of the [email protected] application.

The manner in which modules are defined is quite different in this new release. List views for each module, plus their Search and Mass Update panels, are built in a completely new manner, and look quite different as well. The same is true for the Detail views and Edit Views for each module. The Studio, Reporting and Workflows are significantly re-designed, adjusting to the new module structures.

A more capable and robust studio - improving the ability to customize [email protected]'s more dynamic module screens, such as those with panels or fields that pop in and out depending on user actions.

A superior architecture for future mobile access solutions that will be faster, support essentially all modules, and require less development effort.

A more advanced architecture for third party developers that are building new modules. Modules may be created by making a set of definition files - one for each table definition, one for each layout (including listviews and filters), plus a generic listview config file and a generic module config file. Start by copying an existing module's definition files, then edit to suit.

More attractive field rendering in Edit & Detail views, with field type micro-icon visual cues, resulting in overall usability improvements.

Simpler to code additional custom logic hooks.

Easier to define form layouts in the Studio that will survive upgrades.

More flexible Workflow engine that is more capable with custom fields.

Ensure that standard fields and custom fields are equally well supported for their use in Reports, as Search filters, as Mass Update fields, for Auditing, and for display as List View columns.

The [email protected] 7.0 List View image illustrates the appearance of a new style list view screen and its Search filters and Mass Update controls. The Layout Editor image shows the new Studio layout editor, which operates in place within each module.

[email protected] differs from conventional CRM products in that it offers key features that enable small and medium businesses to compete successfully with larger companies by capitalizing on their ability to communicate and react more quickly in response to client requests. For example, [email protected] allows customer-facing personnel to create quotes or invoices quickly for clients, and then synchronize them later into the familiar QuickBooks accounting system for tracking by administrative staff - combining a quick response with a responsible audit trail.

They enjoy the speed and responsiveness of [email protected] compared to other web-based CRMs.

They are attracted to the best-in-class calendar and group calendaring capabilities within [email protected]
